Tez Johnson caught 2-of-5 targets for 76 yards in the Buccaneers’ Week 9 loss to the Bears.

09 November 2026

Johnson’s 58-yard connection with Baker Mayfield set up a rushing score from Bucky Irving. He also had two big drops on third down that would have kept drives going for the Bucs, and on the first he was seen taking out his frustration on his helmet. Johnson ended up leading the Bucs in receiving yards and tied for the lead in targets, but that’s not quite the compliment it should be. Johnson and Tampa Bay get a bye before a showdown with the Lions in Week 11.
